Office Space: The Musical

Book and Lyrics by Greg Edwards, Music by Zak Sandler

Adapted from a Screenplay by Mike Judge

Based on the 1999 cult comedy, Office Space: The Musical tells the story of Peter Gibbons, a disgruntled office worker, who after a near-death-by-nacho experience, rejects the corporate world, lives by his own rules, and finds unexpected love and undeserved success along the way.

"Young ladies today are so shallow, Lady Barouche. They care only for superficialities, such as intelligence, kindness, and beauty. True, these have been denied your son, but charms he possesses—such as large teeth and a shell collection—seem not to sway them." ~ Mrs. Chaisse, Longston Park
